Representative Karen Bass (D-Calif.) took the stage on the afternoon of September 5 at the Democratic National Convention to deliver a punchy, two-minute speech focused entirely on a legal issue: how the Voting Rights Act was “under attack” across the country.
Bass never mentioned Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. or detailed how the U.S. Department of Justice had filed lawsuits challenging two states attempting to implement Voter ID laws. Her speech was too early in the night to be seen on network television.
